A 391st Fighter Squadron F-15E Strike Eagle pops defensive flares and pulls up after a close-air support mission during exercise Mountain Roundup 2013, at Saylor Creek bombing range near Mountain Air Force Base, Idaho, Oct. 16, 2013. The exercise kicked-off Sept. 30 and it wasn't until Oct. 15 when the host 366th Fighter Wing's F-15E Strike Eagles from the 391st FS finally got authorization to join the fight. Once allowed, the 391st FS Bold Tigers took to the Wild Blue Yonder in masses, flying their screaming Strike Eagles to swiftly provide day and night CAS to joint terminal attack controllers from the German Air Force, Marine Corps 1st Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company and Air Force 124th Air Support Operations Squadron, from Boise, Idaho.
